Resumen
Descripción
The International Assessment of
Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for
Development (IAASTD) was a multidisciplinary and
multi-stakeholder assessment by about 400 experts which had
four primary goals: 1) to assess the effects of agricultural
knowledge, science and technology policy and institutional
environments, as well as practices, in the context of
sustainable development; 2) to identify where critically
important information gaps exist in order to more
effectively target research; 3) to make the resulting state
of the art, objective, analyses accessible to decision
makers at all levels from small producers to those who
create international policy; and 4) to further the capacity
of developing country nationals and institutions to
generate, access, and use agricultural knowledge, science
and technology that promote sustainable development. The
IAASTD was a useful experience at the nexus of politics and
science. However, agricultural technology, with its
complexity, diversity and politics, proved to be a bridge
too far. The process itself was instructive and there is
much useful information in the reports. However, the present
review concludes that, for the substantial resources used,
the program did not offer sufficient new knowledge or
conceptual frameworks for decision makers.
